hello list, For the past year we've been running several Dell PowerEdge 1750 servers on FreeBSD 4.10, 4.11 and 5.3. All these machines have dual Xeons running with HT enabled. This install has proven to be unstable in that the machine will reboot between 3 days and 170 days without apparant reason. No log is written. Other machines we have with a single CPU (HT enabled) do not experience this problem. As it is present in both 4.x and 5.x and googling the last year has not revealed similar experience I'm consulting this list. As all of these machines are productions machines that have a continuous load (not heavly load, but a light average - some peaks) it's not easy to experiment with HT setting etc. I dislike driving to the datacenter for locked systems with fubarred kernels ;-) The only error i've ever seen just before a reboot is "bge0: discard frame w/o packet header" on the 5.3 machine. Any clues or help greatly appreciated! Regards Rutger Bevaart
